From the very beginning, Miss Watson has proved to be an extremely devoted Christian. She believes in organized religion and does everything by the Bible. Miss Watson believes that she will go to Heaven because she follows all the strict rules of the Bible. However, some of her actions coincide with the morals of society, which oppose the morals of the Bible. Not only does she own a slave, she also “pecks on [Jim] all de time, en treats [Jim] pooty rough” (43). Miss Watson also shows religious hypocrisy when she claims moral superiority by saying that she “was going to live so as to go to the good place”, but that Tom would not go to the good place “by a considerable sight” (3). By boasting that she will go to Heaven, owning a slave, and treating him poorly, Miss Watson was able to portray the hypocrisy in religion. Religious people are supposed to be humble, treat others with respect, and be kind. Such a devoted Christian should know the difference between what is right and wrong. However, since society has accepted slavery, social morals now conflict with religious morals. Through Miss Watson, Twain was able to show the irony of Southern

One of the most famous American Psychologists, John B. Watson, conducted numerous experiments that helped establish a clearer understanding of how the human brain associates response to certain situations. In one of his more famous experiments, Watson tested the conditioned emotional response of a small child. This child, Albert, was eleven months old and was one of “the most developed youngsters ever brought to the hospital” (Watson, 1). It was noted that he never presented fear in any situation, and rarely ever cried. For this reason, Albert was a strong subject for testing throughout the conditioned response experiment. Ultimately, Watson hoped to answer the research question: “Are reactions and behaviors of humans a result of conditioning, or are they naturally implemented in humans from birth?”. However, before Watson began the experiment, he hypothesized that all behaviors are a result of conditioning. Similar to previous observations made, Watson’s goal was to implement stimuli, triggering an emotional response while a certain object was in the child’s possession. If Watson’s hypothesis was correct, a fear reaction would be triggered when the same object was shown to Albert.
